Bee Team Award

Congratulations
to the
Student Success Committee!

Here
is what their nominator had to say:

Student
Success Days are a HUGE amount of work. I think the group
did an excellent job of streamlining the day. Student
Success Days provide students with the background they
need to succeed in college; by making them aware of the
several services offered by the College and Student Support
Services. The Student Success Committee works so hard
to make these days great for everyone!!

Thanks,
Student Success Committee, for making RCTC GREAT!

Employee
Recognition Committee

CONGRATULATIONS!

Are your colleagues or co-workers demonstrating extra
effort, exemplary service, or demonstrated expertise in your department
or on a committee? Are they working on a special project for their
job/department/college or in the community? If so, please consider
nominating them for "Best Bee of the Month."

RECOGNITIONS:

The Employee Relations Committee (ERC) has implemented a process
to recognize and reward employees for outstanding job performances.
Recognitions can be awarded:

Work Team Recognition. Recognition would include committee
work, community service work, and department achievements and
could also highlight something new the group has done or is
working on. Work Teams who receive this award will be recognized
through publicizing the award in the Crossings, on a "recognition"
web site, possibly on our digital wall, their very own "pizza
party" and gifts.

Individual Recognition. This is a modified reinstatement
of the "Bee Award" started by Bonnie Mercer. Recognition would
include committee work, community service work, and individual
achievements, extra effort, exemplary service or demonstrated
expertise in their field. Individuals who receive this award
will be recognized through publicizing the award in the Crossings,
on the "recognition" web site, possibly on our digital wall,
and gifts.

Write Personal Notes. All employees are encouraged
to write notes of recognition and appreciation to their colleagues
and co-workers. This is a simple gesture which has a positive
effect on the sender and receiver.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

Anyone can nominate an employee or work team. The nomination
remains active indefinitely.

The nomination form should include a narrative of why the
nominee(s) merit being named Employee/Work Team {Best Bee(s)}
of the Month based on criteria the nominator feels is relevant.

The nominee(s) may be any employee of Rochester Community
and Technical College.

Nominations received by the 15th of the month are eligible
for consideration of the following month's award.
